Showery gate
Showery Tor is a summit of a range of hills in Bodmin Moor , near St. Breward, east of Camelford in Cornwall in England , the highest point of which is Rough Tor (400 m), a so-called "Tor enclusore". Showery Tor is known for its rock formations and prehistoric monuments.
The cairn , the Craig Weather Hill in "Cornovia: Ancient Sites of Cornwall & Scilly" described, is a five-meter natural formation weathered granite that artificially by a massive mound of stones with a diameter of 30 m and a height of up to 1 2 m is surrounded. The natural formation was chosen as the focus for a presumably Bronze Age monument. However, as no excavations have been carried out, it is unknown how many or whether there are any burials associated with this Ring Cairn . The complex is dated to around 2500 BC. Dated.
